We are pleased to announce the appointment of Grant Snedden to lead our Games and Digital sector team at Henderson Loggie.
Recent data from Scottish Games Network indicates that Scotland is home to 484 game studios, alongside numerous tech and games-adjacent companies. Nationally, the UK gaming market was valued at £7.63 billion in 2024, with consumer spending reaching £7.6bn, reflecting the sector’s resilience and economic significance.
As the market leader in Scotland’s games sector, this appointment forms part of our strategic push. We have advised a number of well-known studios on financial strategy and tax incentives, where development timelines can stretch over several years before generating revenue, and where early-stage capital constraints are common. Video Games Tax Relief can significantly improve cash flow for developers investing heavily in new IP.
Grant, who has had a pivotal role with our games clients since joining the sector group in 2018, said: “The video games sector in Scotland has had a real impact both economically and culturally, and we want to see it continue to grow. We work closely with game studios to help them navigate tax reliefs, funding and provide practical support for the day-to-day challenges of running a business. I’m excited to build on our track record and help clients navigate the financial challenges of long development cycles and scaling globally.”
Kimberley Thomson, our Head of Tax, said: “Grant is already well known in the sector and is the right person for this job. He brings the right mix of sector insight and practical advice to the role and understands the nuances of the sector and the commercial realities studios face. He has developed strong relationships across the industry and his leadership ensures continuity for our clients, and reinforces our commitment to the sector.”
We plan to expand our footprint in the UK games industry, positioning ourselves as a key financial adviser to developers navigating complex production cycles, tax regimes, and growth funding challenges.
